CTO at Fearn
Angela Gao
Prior to Fearn, I completed my PhD at Caltech, studying AI and its mathematical underpinnings. My PhD thesis focused on developing physics-aligned generative models. I also worked at Google Research, where I developed proprietary AI models. At Fearn, I continue to develop rule-aligned models, but instead of physics alignments, our AI models are aligned to the rule of law.

How is your team uniquely positioned to solve the problem you're tackling?
Our team is bizarrely well-positioned to help the intellectual property community. My cofounder, Han Kim, has years of real-world experience drafting and prosecuting patents for one of the best IP practices in the world. He was also a PhD student at Caltech, where he studied bio-derived neural computing algorithms. Han and I actually met at Caltech, while I was completing my PhD on rule-aligned generative models. During my PhD, I published several peer-reviewed papers with my advisor, Dr. Katie Bouman, in the top AI conferences, including NeurIPS, CVPR, and TMLR. Previously, I also worked at Google Research, where I developed proprietary AI models. At Fearn, we've been fortunate enough to inspire a team of fellow PhDs, scientists, and engineers, to join us, all of whom come from the top technical institutions, including Caltech, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon.
